A Maze of Grace

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
At first glimpse, Avalon may seem like one more nice-boy-nice-girl quartet who looks angelic and sings with a similar sanctity. And hey, that's what they are. But what makes A Maze of Grace different is the underlying streetwise pop edge that pervades this 1997 release, which yielded three top contemporary Christian music singles. The opening "Testify to Love" is a great track that features solid harmonies, trademark guitar power chords, and a rock-solid backbeat. "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" contains an irresistible urgency, as does "Speed of Light," yet the group can slow it down masterfully, as with the ballad "Adonai." Comparisons to First Call are merited here and much credit should go to producer Charlie Peacock, who makes Avalon's second release something more than the usual fare. --Michael Lyttle

Excellent CD.......2007-04-11

My second favorite CD of all time. Get's a lot of play time, still after several years.

Great CD by BJ.......2007-03-03

I love every song on this CD, like every other album that Avalon has released. "Testify To Love", their biggest smash hit ever, is NOT overrated--love it. I also enjoy listening to "A World Away" and "A Maze Of Grace", both of which are catchy and fun to sing to. "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" is in the top three for this album for me. "Adonai", founding member Nikki Hassman-Anders' huge ballad, is amazing, and the words truly show it. I loved her voice, and was sad to see her go. "Speed Of Light" and "The Move" are really cool! I love Jody's voice on "Speed Of Light". (He's my favorite member of the group). "Reason Enough", "Forgive + Forget", and "Dreams I Dream For You" also all earn 5 stars. Overall a spectacular job and definitely a CD that I would recommend!

This is my second Avalon cd I have bought,and I love it!The first one I got was "Oxygen",and this one,"A Maze Of Grace",is just as good!I think the group looks kinda weird on the cover of the box,but they have beautiful voices and AWESOME Christian songs!Here is a song guide for "A Maze Of Grace":
1.Testify To Love-I have heard this is Avalon`s all-time number one hit,and I certainly see why!This is a beautiful opening song and the group pulled it off terrificly!
2.A World Away-A great jumpy,dancy Christian song!I really like this one!Avalon sounds great singing it together!
3.A Maze Of Grace-I love the lyrics to this song!It also has a good beat to it!
4.Knockin On Heaven`s Door-Possibly my favorite on the whole cd!This song is AWESOME!You`ll love it!
5.Adonai-Beautiful,touching song that talks about our "Adonai"!Sends out a great message!
6.Speed Of Light-Get pumped up after the slow "Adonai" with this song!It has a cool,dancy feeling,and with the lyrics,you`ll be singing along in no time at all!
7.The Move-Reminds me of Jump5`s version of "We Are Family",except a more Christian song!You`ll like this one alot,and love the beat!
8.Reason Enough-Just as good and beautiful as "Adonai"!I love this song!It talks about how we should love the lord because when he died for us,that`s a "reason enough" to trust,love,and worship him!
9.Forgive And Forget-Wow!Great tune!I really like this one alot!Really cool!
10.Dreams I Dream For You-A wonderful ending song!Absolutely adoring and beautiful!This is such a great song!

An awesome quartet with awesome melody.......2002-09-28

This is the first CD that I have bought from this talented group. I had heard diffferent songs of theirs on mixed CDs that I bought and I thought that I would try one of their albums.

I was incredible blessed by all the songs on this album. Their upbeat music and the harmony of their voices are great.

If I must choose a favourite then it would definitely be "Adonai". I have heard this song sung by Michael Card and it has always been a great blessing to me to worship our 'Adonai'.

'Testify to Love' and 'A Maze of Grace' are amazing as well and the beat to these songs are good enough to dance to.

It is difficult to comment on every song because each one has a beauty of it's own and is uplifting to listen to.

This album has convinced me that I need to add more of their albums to my Christian music collection.
